• 0:29
  Speaker 2: look at.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: So let's get to.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: It all right, So this month, I guess the first
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: half of this month, not a lot of things out.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: Everyone's still distracted playing Assassin's Creed. But one that's I
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: think worth looking into, especially if you have friends to
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: play with, is Monaco two Monico.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, the original.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: One was a I mean, it's the exact same kind
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: of game, but Monico is a top down heist game
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: where you and a number of characters are sneaking around
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: various properties or areas and you know, avoiding guards or
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: distracting them with your cute dog, or or knocking them
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: out or whatever. Because all of the different characters have
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: certain abilities. So there's like like a lady who has
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: a dog that distracts people. There's like a doctor that
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: can knock people out, things like that, and so you
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: you kind of plan your your.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Your path around the level. Think about it. You know
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: in Ocean's eleven, when.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: They're sitting around just one one more job, Yeah, just
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: looking at blue prints and figuring out where they're all
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: going to go, where this guard goes. They've basically turned
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: that into kind of a fun, quirky, a little bit
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: cartoony video game, and it's awesome. It's it's it's been
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: pretty fun. I played the demo a couple months back,
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: and I think especially if you have people.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: That you're talking to while you're playing and like, oh,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: we've got to get that guard. Wait wait wait wait,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: okay go now, well that's that's an Ocean's eleven. Heikes
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: to be able to communicate with your people. It's all
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: about heisting.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: SOO two, it's out I think on I know it's
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: out on PC and Xbox. I also think it's on
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: PlayStation and that is out next week.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I never played the first one, but it's always
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: on Steam sales. Yeah, it always pops up. Yeah, it
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: was always super popular.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: All right, Well we got so that's about it for games,
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: switching over to fun things to distract.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: You at work because you don't want to be working.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: This first one is really cool.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: It's called Synthsational, and this allows you to play music
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: with your keyboard. It is a website. It's Sensational dot boondoggle.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Dot studio.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: So probably just go to x ninety six dot com
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: to click that link. It gives you a kind of
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: a baseline, just like a little beat, and then you
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: can using four or five keys on your keyboard. You
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: can add music, you can add little tones, you can
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: add notes. You can also remix that. You can change
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: or mess with the visualizer. And the coolest part is
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: you can record. So if you come up with like
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: kind of a cool little jam you want to send
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: to your friends or whatever, you can just record that
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: and remix it and send them to people.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Uh you you can't do it on your iPad? Is
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: it not a mobile friendly?
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: No?
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: You need your keyboard.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Okay, work, These work computers are not made for this website.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: What what if?
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: What if you have absolutely no musical ability at all?
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: You know, I was just like kind of mashing the
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: keyboard and it it.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: It takes care of it.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean it's so simplified that it's it's
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: usually pretty easy. So yeah, if you guys want to
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: just mix some music, play like I feel like a
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: like a DJ.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: How's we're going today, honey, and then you just send
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: your wife and clip.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: This is one that I loved because I love geology,
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: and I think it's just fascinating. This is a time
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: travel machine where you can watch continents drift apart, drift
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: toward each other, you know, doing what continents do it
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: a you could just scroll down, uh not on like
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: a like like you're just scrolling down a website, but
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: as you go, the continents drift as they as they do,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: back to I guess Pangaea, and then back to when
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: they drift apart. What you can do that's really cool
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: is if you click on a certain continent. So I
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: clicked on like North America, I don't know exactly what
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: they were calling it, and then it just locks in
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: on that as you scroll, so you can see so
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: what This is really fascinating to me because when I
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: was in Capitol Reef last time, I went to the
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Dorkey like the park Ranger presentation where they sit there
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: and explain all the geology what you're looking at, and
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: they were explaining that this all used to be like
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: a shallow sea, which is insane to think of, like
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: how far inland we are, like how high the elevation is?
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: How was this a sea? Will you go and you
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: scroll down through this and you're like, oh, I see
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: because you can still see the outline of you know,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: where Utah is, for example, and you can see the
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: variety of different oceans and things that have taken over.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: So if you're ever kind of curious about geology and
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: continental drift and how that's impacted, especially southern Utah, you
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: can just see in layers.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Well you can see Lake Bonneville. Oh yeah, that was here.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: I mean you can sort of see the bathtub rings. Yeah,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: nowhere to look.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Right, I'm looking at the Great Dying Portion. Yeah, Earth's
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: history right now.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: And it does have like explanations that like it's not
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: just like a globe that changes, Like there's a lot
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: of text and explanation of what's happening as you scroll
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: through back through time.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: So yeah, that's really cool.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Another another site that you got to go to X
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: ninety six dot com to click as that link is
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: not something you'll remember no, okay and something. So those
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: are the fun things. Here's something miserable. Yeah. Uh, this
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: is Project twenty twenty five Dot observer. Hey, it's happening.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: You might as well know what's going on this. This
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: is not a perfect tracker. I think some of the
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: data is a little cherry pick. Some of it's not
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: necessarily fully scientific. But as a plate, I don't know
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: of many other sites that are doing this. It's just
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: a helpful tool that helps you monitor all the things
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: that the Trump administration is doing to enact twenty twenty five,
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: along with like percentage of completion for the goals that
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: they set out with this.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: We're doing pretty good. Yeah, I mean promise is kept right, Yeah,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: because the media is not reporting it, nobody knows. Yeah.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: So there's you know, there's links to a lot of
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: these things that explain where you know how they're how
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: they're coming along, and why they're coming along and what's happening.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: You can also sort by you know, agencies affected, so
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: if you work in one of these agencies you can
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: kind of keep an eye on it. Subjects completion status.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: I think it's going to become more and more robust
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: it's pretty early, because everything is pretty early on this stuff.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: But yeah, that is Project twenty twenty five dot observer.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: I'm looking at the nuclear subject tracker right now and
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: zero percent on that so far.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Oh that's good. I thank god, that's what we needed.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: I got two fun ones. Okay, wash that taste out
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: of your mouth. The first one is, I don't know
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: why this exists. It's called Jack dot Black okay, and
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: I've someone that I found just just stumbled on this randomly.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: It is I don't know what is it like sound
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: board fifteen. Yeah, it's like a sound order, like fifteen
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: clips and they're all pretty short clips and you can
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: just try to guess what songs they are.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, I see there are bits of songs. Yeah. Yeah,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: that's enough. Yeah, enough that most people can recognize it.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: It's a fun thing and take you five ten minutes
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: to go through it all and try to guess them all,
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: or see how many you can guess.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: The shame gene is not here, she's good at this.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Well let's say let's save this.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: And yeah, so it's easy to remember Jack dop Black.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: I think what happened to someone was googling Jack Black
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: and accidentally hit and then they just stumbled on this.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with Jack Black. That's Beastie Boys,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: eminem Easy Boys. I thought that was it, and my
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: name is go know.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: So the last one here, this is specifically for Carrie.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Oh well, damn you and everyone in your family. It well,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: because I mean, the chicken one was addictive, but this
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: is kitties. Yeah, the chicken one was addictive.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Three sixty eight chickens that I mentioned a couple weeks.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: This is a matching game. So think of it like Bejeweled.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: You are matching cats, match three cats. So the chickens
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: was two chickens. This is three and the kitties. So
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: it's the same kind of concept like a a Jeweled game,
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: but you're matching cats instead of chickens or jewels. It's
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: another website. Again, these links, none of these links are
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: really friendly. I'm stacking cats remembering today.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Oh my kitties.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: You guys keep talking, I'm going to Yeah. It's pretty distracting,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: as you may have noticed. So anyone that wanted to
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: play a game to keep you distracted at work, you
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: can kind of buzz through Jacked Out Black and the
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: the music thing. But yeah, what you really want to
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: do is match cats.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I'm stuck on the kiddies.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah that's what that's where you'll.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Thanks a lot, buddy. Yeah, good luck, guys, see you later.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Oh you can stack four cats? Oh my gosh, it
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: doesn't have to be the three. Uh well, the object
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: is it's.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: But they all clear, there's probably no limit to how
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: many in a row you can get.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, well, what I guess it has to be five.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Let's test that out instead of all all right, they're
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: not give me the right kind of kidding. Yeah, that's
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: a good match. I got four cats again. I got
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: four cats again, I got I got the fishbowl. There's
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: a fish there's a fish bowl. Yeah I didn't see
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: a fishbowl. Must be into it. Yeah, all right, okay enough.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: This is this is how addicted the game is. Playing
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: a stupid game on the radio is exactly Radio Chicken.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Just when I was doing last night for like an hour.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: I just need more one. I just need one more
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: yawning cat, and I think I'll be done well, all right,
